Directions to the Los Angeles Convention Center
Parking is available at the convention center for $12 on weekdays and $15 on weekends. (If you are paying by credit/debit card, note that some parking entrances are cash only -- look for signs.) There are several independent lots in the area, some less expensive, some more.
Parking information is available on the Getting Here page (click the Parking tab).
Tip: A cheaper alternative is to take public transportation. Metro Blue Line's Pico Station is a block away from the Convention Center. The Red and Purple subway and Silver Metro Liner connect to the Blue Line at 7th St./Metro Center (1 stop from Pico); the Green Line connects Wilmington/Imperial. Metro Rail information
